Hero Spitfire pilot in hospital after dramatic crash-landing… but aircraft’s owners vow ‘it will fly again

A Spitfire which crashed on a test flight from Biggin Hill will fly again after its hero pilot performed ‘a textbook landing’.
Pilot Dan Griffiths lost all power seconds after he took off from the runway and managed to glide the aircraft down without causing a catastrophic amount of damage.
The former RAF pilot suffered a shoulder injury and was taken to hospital, but he is also expected to make a full recovery.
